What You Need to Know About
Hand Dryers

Hand dryers are
electric devices installed in public restrooms, washrooms or
any environment where hands need to be dried. Electric hand
dryers are growing in popularity throughout all industries
because of their simple , convenience and economic
advantages. Installing an electric hand drying unit in your
establishment can cut hand drying expenses up to 95%.

No longer will you
need to buy paper towels. Hand dryers require much less
maintenance compared to paper towels, which must be
constantly refilled. An additional expense is the removal of
paper waste, which requires your time and effort. Another
wonderful advantage is the reduction in litter and waste in
comparison to paper towels, this alone makes hand dryers
much better for the environment. These factors automatically
make buying a hand dryer for your establishment the obvious
choice.

Before choosing your
hand dryer it is important to take a look at the different
types that are offered on the market today. Here are the
some of the types of hand dryers that we showcase at
gohanddryers.com:

Automatic Hand Dryers

The inception of the
automatic hand dryer has completely changed the washroom
accessories market. Unlike previous hand dryers that
required the push of a button, automatic hand dryers no
longer need the user to touch the dryer to activate it. This
has led to a dramatic reduction in the spread of germs and
bacteria in public washrooms and bathrooms.

Automatic hand dryers
are activated by an infrared sensor inside the unit. The
infrared sensor has what is called a sensing zone once the
users hand crosses that zone the hand drying cycle is then
activated. Most if not automatic hand dryers have a
predetermined hand drying cycle that last a specific amount
of seconds. Some units allow the owner to set the allotted
time that the drying cycle will last.

Push Button Hand Dryers

Push button hand
dryers have been considered the standard since their
creation. The simplistic design and durability of this type
of hand dryer combined with affordability are some other
reasons they have remained so popular for so many decades.

As mentioned before
the sure economical value of not having to buy and replace
paper towel rolls has led to many establishments deciding to
use hand dryers as an alternative. Currently pushbutton hand
dryers are more affordable than automatic hand dryers which
leads many businesses still stick with this tried and true
hand drying method.

Recessed, Semi-Recessed and
Surface Mounted Hand Dryers

No matter what type
of make or model hand dryer that you choose, they all fall
under the categories of recessed, semi-recessed or surface
mounted. There are advantages and disadvantages to all
mounting types.

Surface mounted
hand dryers are basically what the name implies, they
are mounted on to a surface. These types of hand dryers are
ideal in situations where the walls of the building are not
deep enough or they are not made of the right materials to
house the unit. The disadvantage of this type is that it
protrudes out further than other types taking up more space
in your washroom or restroom. Depending on the size, surface
mounted units often do not meet ADA requirements

Semi-recessed hand
dryers are units that partially protrude from the wall.
These types of units are ideal for situations where you have
a wall that has some depth but not enough to house the
complete hand drying unit. Depending on your region, the
hand dryer in the depth of the wall these types of dryers
can sometimes meet ADA requirements.

Recessed hand
dryers are hand dryers that are designed to fit almost
completely into the depth of a wall. In ideal world all hand
dryers would be completely recessed, they're considered the
preferred choice when available. The only part of the hand
dryer that you see is the face of the unit which is more
aesthetically appealing and considered much easier to access
and maneuver. Most if not all fully recessed hand dryers
meet ADA requirements and are ideal for newly constructed
buildings and restaurants.

Economical Hand Dryers

Although all hand
dryers or more economically efficient than paper towel
dispensers, not all hand dryers are created equally.
Economically efficient hand dryers can be great for both the
environment and your checkbook. Also known as high
efficiency hand dryers, these units often reduce hand drying
costs by up to 95% compared to paper towel dispensers. These
advantages alone make energy efficient hand dryers the
obvious choice for many businesses and individuals.

With drying times of
only a few seconds, the next generation green hand dryers
are very often three times faster than your standard
conventional hand dryers, and consistently use a lot less
electricity.

By choosing
eco-friendly hand dryer you can also improve your
eligibility for LEED credits, while at the same time
achieving huge cost savings and greatly reducing energy
consumption. Energy efficient hand dryers operate with
superior performance and much lower maintenance cost. They
consume less resource usage than traditional hand drying
solutions, which make them an excellent choice for any
environment that needs a hand dryer.

High-Performance Hand
Dryers

High performance hand
dryers are rapidly becoming a popular choice in many public
restrooms. They are also commonly referred to as high-speed
hand dryers. High-performance hand dryers offer many great
advantages which make them an excellent choice for almost
any situation. The first obvious advantage to the
performance hand dryer is that they dry hands fast. Many of
today's most popular high-speed hand dryers can get hands
completely dry and just a matter of 10 to 15 seconds.

Another extremely
popular advantage of drying your hands with high-speed is
the experience. Research shows that users thoroughly enjoy
the thrill and the sensation that they get from the
high-speed air rapidly drying and warming their hands.

The third advantage
to the high-speed hand dryer and possibly the most important
is that they are an excellent economical choice. All hand
dryers are great for the environment and your checkbook
compared to the use of paper towels, but performance hand
dryers are much better. Not only are high-speed dryers used
for a shorter period of time, but very often, they have a
much lower wattage rate. Hand dryers that use less power
save both the owner money and help the environment.

Heavy-Duty Hand Dryers

Heavy-duty hand
dryers are literally designed to withstand almost any
environment or situation. Heavy-duty hand dryers are almost
always constructed of cast iron or stainless steel and can
often be up to a quarter inch thick. Depending on the type
of hand dryer that you choose they can come in a variety of
finishes and often include heavy-duty epoxy porcelain
enamel.

They are ideal in
high-traffic environments and areas where vandalism is
prevalent. Found in a large variety, they can come in
surface mounted, recessed or semi-recessed mounting options.
Heavy-duty hand dryers can also be purchased in the
automatically activated type of the manual push button
function.
